And all the other families. yours sincerely, thomas braun . i m feeling excited to finally, maybe, help the solution to get eddie to live a better life, and i m feeling quite nervous as well. because i feel like there s pressure for me on trying to help eddie. eddie was born with brain damage, following a rare genetic mutation. he has cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and severe complex epilepsy, and it s for that he takes medicinal cannabis. he s six tomorrow, and has been on the drug since early 2017. it s not an nhs prescription, so it costs the family £780 a month. some of the other families we know, they ve run out of money already, their kids are no longer on the product that was helping them, and are doing worse for it. you know, they re back in hospital, they re back having lots of seizures. another family have sold their family home. so it s a very, very real crisis ....
